I did a quick search for COOPER on the Canadian passenger lists arriving here between 1925-1935. The lists end in 1935. There are close to 2000 COOPERS who arrived here in that time span. If you do get more information, I would be more than happy to search further for you!

Just to try & explain that there are no Central registries/indexes in Canada for BMDs. Canada has very strict privacy laws and each province imposes its own even further. Additionally, some provinces are more research friendly than others so researching in Canada can be challenging. The last available Canadian Census was 1911 apart from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta which was 1916. As a guide BMD Records are only available for births more than a 100 years ago, marriages 80 years ago and deaths 70 years ago. Trying to trace modern day families in Canada you depend on newspaper announcements, cemetery records, obituaries, telephone directories.
